‘Piku’ star Deepika Padukone, Irrfan Khan in Vishal Bharadwaj’s next

Vishal Bharadwaj brings the ‘Piku’ stars together again. Yes, you
read it right, Vishal Bharadwaj has roped in Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan for
his next venture. Deepika will essay the role of most feared female dons,
Rahima Khan aka Sapna Didi, who's known for almost killing underworld goon Dawood
Ibrahim.

For the first time Deepika
will be working with Vishal Bharadwaj. The film will be helmed by Honey
Trehan. Apparently, Irrfan Khan will be playing the role of a local gangster in
the film.

A source told Mumbai Mirror, "Sapna Didi had planned
Dawood’s execution during a cricket match in Sharjah to avenge her husband’s
death. Unfortunately for her, he got wind of her plans and killed her days
before she could get to him. The film is expected to go on the floors by the
year-end.”

Apparently, the
movie is inspired from the book ‘Mafia Queens of Mumbai’ penned by Hussain
Zaidi. Vishal Bhardwaj told the tabloid, "Honey has been a part of my life
since before I made my first film. Launching him as a director after Abhishek
Chaubey gives me deep joy. He will make a fine director. Deepika has been
asking me to write a script for her for a long time. She has heard this script
and loved it. We are in an advance stage of discussion with her.”

Deepika and Irfran’s chemistry was highly liked by the audience in ‘Piku’ and hope they will be able to charm the audience yet again with their
dynamic performance.
